A TEA room with a magical twist has been handed the highest food hygiene rating.

Yoga Wise Studio in Mayland has been open for just three years and opened its new cafe this summer.

Tea and Tarot is a cafe with a difference, born from boss Emma's love of tea and long time practice of reading Tarot.

With every brew ordered guests receive a single card tarot reading.

Emma Turnbull, who runs Tea and Tarot, said: "If you don’t know what brew you want or need no worries, draw a card and we’ll select the tea that is right for you based on your reading.

"We want your experience here to be a healing one, come as you are with whatever ails you, peruse the menu and select a tea based on how you would like to feel when you leave, then sit, sip and let the tea work its magic.

"When you visit, not only will you have a single card reading with every cup of tea, but you’ll also be able to come and just hang out and play with some cards yourself, read some books and chat with friends."

The cafe at Marine House in Steeple Road is open Tuesdays from 11.30am to 2pm and Thursdays from 11.30am to 3pm.

Saturdays are available for private parties and its popular yoga retreat days too.
